timeless photography filled with feeling.
Family beach sessions & Engagements & Weddings- documented with warmth, honesty and effortless storytelling.
Based in Cape May, New Jersey- serving Cape May, Stone Harbor and the surrounding shore areas.
I photograph life as it unfolds: warm weddings, heartfelt beach families, glowing maternity sessions, romantic engagements, and polished corporate events.
My sessions are relaxed and personal.
I focus on real connection — laughter, tenderness, and all the subtle moments that make your story uniquely yours.
We had such a wonderful experience working with Cornelia. She captured the most beautiful portraits of our family, and every step of the process felt effortless and natural. From the moment we met her, it felt as though we had known her for years—she has such a warm, kind, and soft-spoken presence that instantly puts everyone at ease. She was incredibly professional, caring, and patient, especially with our little one, and it truly showed in the way she brought out the best in each of us. We are so grateful for these timeless images and will treasure them for years to come.

Kind Words
If you’re getting married, look no further than studio M and Cornelia. When it comes to price quality and attention to detail, she is the very best. You know a true professional when they direct the subjects without intruding into the ceremony. Quick and efficient and the proof is in the pudding. Her pictures are amazing. You couldn’t ask for better imagination, composition and quality of content. Cornelia captured all the special moments, even those you would never have thought about. She is one hard-working dedicated and talented photographer.

Cornelia at Studio M did the most amazing job with an engagement shoot in Cape May! She was responsive and flexible from the beginning, fully trying to understand what we needed and helped us through the entire process from picking location to deciding on best lighting and finding other nearby spots to get great shots. We could not have been more thrilled at the service, and pictures. Would 100% use her again!
